PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD674B and AD774B are complete 12-bit successiveapproximation analog-to-digital converters with three-state
output buffer circuitry for direct interface to 8- and 16-bit
microprocessor busses. A high precision voltage reference and
clock are included on chip, and the circuit requires only power
supplies and control signals for operation.
The AD674B and AD774B are pin compatible with the industry
standard AD574A, but offer faster conversion time and busaccess speed than the AD574A and lower power consumption.
The AD674B converts in 15 µs (maximum) and the AD774B
converts in 8 µs (maximum).
The monolithic design is implemented using Analog Devices’
BiMOS II process allowing high performance bipolar analog circuitry to be combined on the same die with digital CMOS logic.
Offset, linearity and scaling errors are minimized by active lasertrimming of thin-film resistors.
Five different grades are available. The J and K grades are specified for operation over the 0°C to +70°C temperature range.
The A and B grades are specified from –40°C to +85°C, the T
grade is specified from –55°C to +125°C. The J and K grades
are available in a 28-pin plastic DIP or 28-lead SOIC. All other
grades are available in a 28-pin hermetically sealed ceramic
DIP.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Industry Standard Pinout: The AD674B and AD774B utilize
the pinout established by the industry standard AD574A.
2. Analog Operation: The precision, laser-trimmed scaling and
bipolar offset resistors provide four calibrated ranges: 0 to
+10 V and 0 to +20 V unipolar; –5 V to +5 V and –10 V to
+10 V bipolar. The AD674B and AD774B operate on +5 V
and ±12 V or ±15 V power supplies.
3. Flexible Digital Interface: On-chip multiple-mode three-state
output buffers and interface logic allow direct connection to
most microprocessors. The 12 bits of output data can be
read either as one 12-bit word or as two 8-bit bytes (one with
8 data bits, the other with 4 data bits and 4 trailing zeros).
4. The internal reference is trimmed to 10.00 volts with 1%
maximum error and 10 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient. The reference is available externally and can drive up
to 2.0 mA beyond the requirements of the converter and bipolar offset resistors.
5. The AD674B and AD774B are available in versions compliant with MIL-STD-883. Refer to the Analog Devices Military Products Databook or current AD674B/AD774B/883B

AD674B/AD774B
DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
LINEARITY ERROR
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code
from a line drawn from “zero” through “full scale.” The point
used as “zero” occurs 1/2 LSB (1.22 mV for 10 volt span) before the first code transition (all zeroes to only the LSB “on”).
“Full scale” is defined as a level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code
transition (to all ones). The deviation of a code from the true
straight line is measured from the middle of each particular
code.
The K, B. and T grades are guaranteed for maximum nonlinearity of ±1/2 LSB. For these grades, this means that an analog
value which falls exactly in the center of a given code width will
result in the correct digital output code. Values nearer the upper
or lower transition of the code width may produce the next upper or lower digital output code. The J and A grades are guaranteed to ±1 LSB max error. For these grades, an analog value
which falls within a given code width will result in either the
correct code for that region or either adjacent one.
Note that the linearity error is not user adjustable.
DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERROR (NO MISSING
CODES)
A specification which guarantees no missing codes requires that
every code combination appear in a monotonic increasing sequence as the analog input level is increased. Thus every code
must have a finite width. The AD674B and AD774B guarantee
no missing codes to 12-bit resolution, requiring that all 4096
codes must be present over the entire operating temperature
ranges.
UNIPOLAR OFFSET
The first transition should occur at a level 1/2 LSB above analog
common. Unipolar offset is defined as the deviation of the actual transition from that point. This offset can be adjusted as
discussed later. The unipolar offset temperature coefficient
specifies the maximum change of the transition point over temperature, with or without external adjustment.
BIPOLAR OFFSET
In the bipolar mode the major carry transition (0111 1111 1111
to 1000 0000 0000) should occur for an analog value 1/2 LSB
below analog common. The bipolar offset error and temperature
coefficient specify the initial deviation and maximum change in
the error over temperature.
QUANTIZATION UNCERTAINTY
Analog-to-digital converters exhibit an inherent quantization
uncertainty of ±1/2 LSB. This uncertainty is a fundamental
characteristic of the quantization process and cannot be reduced
for a converter of given resolution.
LEFT-JUSTIFIED DATA
The output data format is left-justified. This means that the
data represents the analog input as a fraction of full scale, ranging from 0 to 4095/4096. This implies a binary point 4095 to
the left of the MSB.
FULL-SCALE CALIBRATION ERROR
The last transition (from 1111 1111 1110 to 1111 1111 1111)
should occur for an analog value 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal
full scale (9.9963 volts for 10.000 volts full scale). The full-scale
calibration error is the deviation of the actual level at the last
transition from the ideal level. This error, which is typically 0.05
to 0.1% of full scale, can be trimmed out as shown in Figures 7
and 8. The full-scale calibration error over temperature is given
with and without the initial error trimmed out. The temperature
coefficients for each grade indicate the maximum change in
the full-scale gain from the initial value using the internal 10 V
reference.
TEMPERATURE DRIFT
The temperature drift for full-scale calibration, unipolar offset,
and bipolar offset specifies the maximum change from the initial
(+25°C) value to the value at T
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION
The standard specifications assume use of +5.00 V and
± 15.00 V or ±12.00 V supplies. The only effect of power supply
error on the performance of the device will be a small change in
the full-scale calibration. This will result in a linear change in all
low-order codes. The specifications show the maximum fullscale change from the initial value with the supplies at the various limits.
CODE WIDTH
A fundamental quantity for A/D converter specifications is the
code width. This is defined as the range of analog input values
for which a given digital output code will occur. The nominal
value of a code width is equivalent to 1 least significant bit
(LSB) of the full-scale range or 2.44 mV out of 10 volts for a
12-bit ADC.

Figure 5. Block Diagram of AD674B and AD774B
When the control section is commanded to initiate a conversion
(as described later), it enables the clock and resets the
successive-approximation register (SAR) to all zeroes. Once a
conversion cycle has begun, it cannot be stopped or restarted
and data is not available from the output buffers. The SAR,
timed by the clock, will sequence through the conversion cycle
and return an end-of-convert flag to the control section. The
control section will then disable the clock, bring the output
status flag low, and enable control functions to allow data read
by external command.
During the conversion cycle, the internal 12-bit current output
DAC is sequenced by the SAR from the most-significant-bit
(MSB) to least-significant-bit (LSB) to provide an output current which accurately balances the input signal current through
the divider network. The comparator determines whether the
addition of each successively-weighted bit current causes the
DAC current sum to be greater or less than the input current; if
the sum is less, the bit is left on; if more, the bit is turned off.
After testing all the bits, the SAR contains a 12-bit binary code
which accurately represents the input signal to within ± 1/2 LSB.
The temperature-compensated reference provides the primary
voltage reference to the DAC and guarantees excellent stability
with both time and temperature. The reference is trimmed to
10.00 volts ±1%; it can supply up to 2.0 mA to an external load
in addition to the requirements of the reference input resistor
(0.5 mA) and bipolar offset resistor (0.5 mA). Any external load
on the reference must remain constant during conversion. The
thin film application resistors are trimmed to match the fullscale
output current of the DAC. The input divider network provides
a 10 V or 20 V input range. The bipolar offset resistor is
grounded for unipolar operation and connected to the 10 volt
reference for bipolar operation.
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUT
The AD674B and AD774B are successive-approximation analogto-digital converters. During the conversion cycle, the ADC
input current is modulated by the DAC test current at approxi-
mately a 1 MHz rate. Thus it is important to recognize that the
signal source driving the ADC must be capable of holding a
constant output voltage under dynamically-changing load
conditions.
Figure 6. Op Amp—ADC Interface
The closed-loop output impedance of an op amp is equal to the
openloop output impedance (usually a few hundred ohms) divided by the loop gain at the frequency of interest. It is often
assumed that the loop gain of a follower-connected op amp is
sufficiently high to reduce the closed-loop output impedance to
a negligibly small value, particularly if the signal is low frequency. However, the amplifier driving the ADC must either
have sufficient loop gain at 1 MHz to reduce the closed-loop
output impedance to a low value or have low open-loop output
impedance. This can be accomplished by using a wideband op
amp, such as the AD711.
If a sample-hold amplifier is required, the monolithic AD585 or
AD781 is recommended, with the output buffer driving the
AD674B or AD774B input directly. A better alternative is the
AD1674 which is a 10 µs sampling ADC in the same pinout
as the AD574A, AD674A or AD774B and is functionally
equivalent.
SUPPLY DECOUPLING AND LAYOUT
CONSIDERATION
It is critically important that the power supplies be filtered, well
regulated, and free from high frequency noise. Use of noisy supplies will cause unstable output codes. Switching power supplies
are not recommended for circuits attempting to achieve 12-bit
accuracy unless great care is used in filtering any switching
spikes present in the output. Few millivolts of noise represent
several counts of error in a 12-bit ADC.
Decoupling capacitors should be used on all power supply pins;
the +5 V supply decoupling capacitor should be connected directly from Pin 1 to Pin 15 (digital common) and the +V
–V
pins should be decoupled directly to analog common (Pin
EE
CC
and
9). A suitable decoupling capacitor is a 4.7 µF tantalum type in
parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic disc type.
Circuit layout should attempt to locate the ADC, associated
analog input circuitry, and interconnections as far as possible
from logic circuitry. For this reason, the use of wire-wrap circuit
construction is not recommended. Careful printed-circuit layout
and manufacturing is preferred.

AD674B/AD774B
UNIPOLAR RANGE CONNECTIONS FOR THE AD674B
AND AD774B
The AD674B and AD774B contain all the active components
required to perform a complete 12-bit A/D conversion. Thus,
for most situations, all that is necessary is connection of the
power supplies (+5 V, +12/+15 V and –12/–15 V), the analog
input, and the conversion initiation command, as discussed on
the next page.
Figure 7. Unipolar Input Connections
All of the thin-film application resistors of the AD674B and
AD774B are factory trimmed for absolute calibration. Therefore, in many applications, no calibration trimming will be required. The absolute accuracy for each grade is given in the
specification tables. For example, if no trims are used, ±2 LSB
max zero offset error and ±0.25% (10 LSB) max full-scale error
are guaranteed. If the offset trim is not required, Pin 12 can be
connected directly to Pin 9; the two resistors and trimmer for
Pin 12 are then not needed. If the full-scale trim is not required,
a 50 Ω 1% metal film resistor should be connected between Pin
8 and Pin 10.
If Pin 12 is connected to Pin 9, the unit will behave in this manner, within specifications. If the offset trim (R1) is used, it
should be trimmed as above, although a different offset can be
set for a particular system requirement. This circuit will give approximately ±15 mV of offset trim range.
The full-scale trim is done by applying a signal 1 1/2 LSB below
the nominal full scale (9.9963 for a 10 V range). Trim R2 to
give the last transition (1111 1111 1110 to 1111 1111 1111).
BIPOLAR OPERATION
The connections for bipolar ranges are shown in Figure 8.
Again, as for the unipolar ranges, if the offset and gain specifications are sufficient, one or both of the trimmers shown can be
replaced by a 50 Ω±1% fixed resistor. The analog input is
applied as for the unipolar ranges. Bipolar calibration is similar
to unipolar calibration. First, a signal 1/2 LSB above negative
full scale (–4.9988 V for the ± 5 V range) is applied and R1 is
trimmed to give the first transition (0000 0000 0000 to 0000
0000 0001). Then a signal 1 1/2 LSB below positive full scale
(+4.9963 V for the ±5 V range) is applied and R2 trimmed to
give the last transition (1111 1111 1110 to 1111 1111 1111).
The analog input is connected between Pins 13 and 9 for a 0 to
+10 V input range, between Pins 14 and 9 for a 0 to +20 V input range. Input signals beyond the supplies are easily accommodated. For the 10 volt span input, the LSB has a nominal
value of 2.44 mV; for the 20 volt span, 4.88 mV. If a 10.24 V
range is desired (nominal 2.5 mV/bit), the gain trimmer (R2)
should be replaced by a 50 Ω resistor, and a 200 Ω trimmer inserted in series with the analog input to Pin 13 (for a full-scale
range of 20.48 V (5 mV/bit), use a 500 Ω trimmer into Pin 14).
The gain trim described below is now done with these trimmers.
The nominal input impedance into Pin 13 is 5 kΩ, and 10 kΩ
into Pin 14.
UNIPOLAR CALIBRATION
The connections for unipolar ranges are shown in Figure 7. The
AD674B or AD774B is trimmed to a nominal 1/2 LSB offset so
that the exact analog input for a given code will be in the middle
of that code (halfway between the transitions to the codes above
and below it). Thus, when properly calibrated, the first transition (from 0000 0000 0000 to 0000 0000 0001) will occur for
an input level of +1/2 LSB (1.22 mV for 10 V range).

GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
The analog common at Pin 9 is the ground reference point for
the internal reference and is thus the “high quality” ground for
the ADC; it should be connected directly to the analog reference point of the system. In order to achieve the high accuracy
performance available from the ADC in an environment of high
digital noise content, it is required that the analog and digital
commons be connected together at the package. In some situations, the digital common at Pin 15 can be connected to the
most convenient ground reference point; digital power return is
preferred.

An output signal, STS, indicates the status of the converter.
STS goes high at the beginning of a conversion and returns low
when the conversion cycle is complete.
The ADC may be operated in one of two modes, the full-control
mode and the stand-alone mode. The full-control mode utilizes
all the control signals and is useful in systems that address decode multiple devices on a single data bus. The stand-alone
mode is useful in systems with dedicated input ports available.
In general, the stand-alone mode is capable of issuing start-convert commands on a more precise basis and, therefore, produces
higher accuracy results. The following sections describe these
two modes in more detail.

STAND-ALONE MODE
“Stand-alone” mode is useful in systems with dedicated input
ports available and thus not requiring full bus interface capability. Stand-alone mode applications are generally able to issue
conversion start commands more precisely than full-control
mode, resulting in improved accuracy.

goes LOW. This gives rise to two possible control signals—a
high pulse or a low pulse. Operation with a low pulse is shown
in Figure 4a. In this case, the outputs are forced into the high
impedance state in response to the falling edge of R/
C and return to valid logic levels after the conversion cycle is completed.
The STS line goes HIGH 200 ns after R/
C goes LOW and re-

Once a conversion is started, the STS line goes HIGH. Convert
start commands will be ignored until the conversion cycle is
complete. The output data buffers can be enabled up to 1.2 µs
prior to STS going LOW. The STS line will return LOW at the
end of the conversion cycle.

GENERAL A/D CONVERTER INTERFACE
CONSIDERATIONS
A typical A/ D converter interface routine involves several operations. First, a write to the ADC address initiates a conversion. The processor must then wait for the conversion cycle to
complete, since most integrated circuit ADCs take longer than
one instruction cycle to complete a conversion. Valid data can,
of course, only be read after the conversion is complete. The
AD674B and AD774B provide an output signal (STS) which
indicates when a conversion is in progress. This signal can be
polled by the processor by reading it through an external threestate buffer (or other input port). The STS signal can also be
used to generate an interrupt upon completion of conversion if
the system timing requirements are critical and the processor
has other tasks to perform during the ADC conversion cycle.
Another possible time-out method is to assume that the ADC
will take its maximum conversion time to convert, and insert a
sufficient number of “no-op” instructions to ensure that this
amount of processor time is consumed.
Once conversion is complete, the data can be read. For converters with more data bits than are available on the bus, a choice of
data formats is required, and multiple read operations are
needed. The AD674B and AD774B include internal logic to
permit direct interface to 8-bit and 16-bit data buses, selected
by the 12/
8 input. In 16-bit bus applications (12/8 high) the
data lines (DB11 through DB0) may be connected to either the
12 most significant or 12 least significant bits of the data bus.
The remaining four bits should be masked in software. The interface to an 8-bit data bus (12/

through DB4). The odd address (A
8 low) is done in a left-justified
low) contains the 8 MSBs (DB11
0
high) contains the 4 LSBs
0
(DB3 through DB0) in the upper half of the byte, followed by
four trailing zeroes, thus eliminating bit masking instructions.
It is not possible to rearrange the output data lines for right-justified 8-bit bus interface.
